PERSONALITY
*Description:
Lily is a very bubbly personality. She loves people, and being around people. When dealing with people she does not know she is usually cryptic, talking herself in circles to confuse them so as to keep them from figuring her out. She likes to flaunt the fact she is a witch however, especially if it will make them uncomfortable. Lily has had many experiences with 'anti paranormal' activists and so she knows how to handle them.
Lily is very selective on who she is friends with. Her powers give her a good sense of personality so she seems more immediately trusting than she actually is. She will hug people she meets only once, invite them to her tent-apartment, tell them about her life... but there is still much more to her personality than those few things. Lily likes to read. She loves poetry, and she loves opera. She would sit happily for hours reading scripts and acting out the parts. She was a drama nerd in school, of course. Lily is calm and caring. She is very gentle and very good with children, or the ill. Despite her somewhat rough, confident outer appearance Lily harbors a lot of insecurities that make her eager, almost desperate, to please.
Lily lives alone but not really by choice. She feels displaced and awkward in her own life most days, but knows that that feeling will soon pass. The right girlfriend or boyfriend will help her see value in what she is. She hopes.
She would like to have a real home one day, maybe a family. She has settled for what she has, and doesn't ask for anymore or any less. She was taught to be grateful for what she had, so she feels guilty when she finds herself wishing for more. All Lily ever wanted to do was perform. "Life is stage!" she always says, and every day she goes to work as a palm reader is a chance for her to exercise her acting skills. Overall, Lily is content with her life.
Habits: nail biting and knuckle cracking
Soft Spot: ice cream and daisies (not together)
Weak Spot: if someone kisses her neck she loses all ability to stand
Best Quality: her upbeat, hopeful attitude
Worst Quality: inability to confront her true insecurities
Biggest Vulnerability: she sticks to bad relationships because otherwise she'll feel like she gave up too soon and wasn't committed
Biggest Strength: her ability to adapt to new situations
Best Memory: watching 'My Fair Lady' with her dad
Darkest Secret: she suffers random periods of depression she refuses to acknowledge where she only just lays in bed all day and sleeps because she can't see the point. Then, one day, she feels better! So she doesn't see why it's a problem.
*History:
Lily was second born to a middle class paranormal family in Zennor Parish, located in North Cornish, England. Her mother was a doctor and her father was a librarian and school teacher. She had two brothers and a sister, her oldest brother (who was 4 years older than her) was named Kyle; her younger brother, Charlie, was 2 years younger than she was; and her sister Janet was 10 years younger. Lily was the athlete among her siblings, playing in no organized sports but rather reveling as something of an idol in impromptu games put on by the other children of the parish. She was the fastest of her siblings and she and her two brothers were a true force to be reckoned with. She had a happy childhood with little to no experience with anti-paranormalism. Her Parish was majority paranormal anyway.
She moved to Capitol City, U.S when she reached her 24th birthday to leave her job at her family farm and pursue post secondary studies abroad. She completed a degree in drama studies and general arts, but ran out of funds before she could pursue her masters. She tried to get a job but no one would take a paranormal on as an actress. So she went to palm reading. Lily had been taught in the ancient magical arts of her people, and exploited them to make money off of easily amused tourists.
As for relationships, since moving to the states she had two boyfriends and one girlfriend. Her first relationship was not so bad. His name was Devon and they had a pretty serious relationship for a while, but it was not stable. They both knew they had fallen out of love. Her next was with a woman named Christie, who was kind but flaky. They had a short fling of about three months before moving on. Her last boyfriend was the real asshole. His name was James, and he led her on for a good two years before she found out he was cheating on her. The home wrecker came into her room while she was still in the shower getting ready for work. James told her he thought Lily would be cool with it because she was "pretty chill about everything else" and he thought they could be "polyamorous".
Lily then moved out into a tent in the cities major nature park and lives there, alone.
SPECIES CREATION
*Species name: Witch
*Class: gifted
*Species appearance: not different
*Powers and abilities:
She can heal magically
Cast minor spells (not without a cost to her health)
Make magical potions, mostly for healing
Can see and read auras, and palm lines
*Weaknesses:
Burns, even minor ones, could be fatal unless treated magically by someone else (so, link healing, magic potion brewed by another witch, etc.)
She cannot do more than two 'true spells' a day (palm reading and aura reading do not count) without nearly killing herself or actually killing herself.
Lily is rendered powerless when injured, nicked or even kissed by the crystal quartz. Quartz and copper are the only two things which can render her magic useless, and the last time she was cut by a piece of quartz (the more dangerous of the two) she was in a coma for six weeks.
*Origin:
England, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, Africa and Russia are the known origins of the witches. Larger colonies in England migrated to other countries during the witch hunts, though native species were found to have originated in Italy, Africa and Russia as well.
